Independence of axioms for biordered sets
Semigroup Forum, 1984 Biordered sets were introduced by \textit{K. S. S. Nambooripad} as an abstraction of the partial semigroup of idempotents of a semigroup [Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 224 (1979; Zbl 0457.20051]. Let X, Y be sets, \(\rho \subseteq X\times Y\) and put \(\rho(y)=\{x\in X:\quad x\rho y\}.\) A partial algebra is defined to be a set E equipped with a partial binary ...
